I have to stop asking myself

Why -

I am without.

Death

has no personal reason

nor does

Love

that leaves.

And nobody

is punishing me

And nobody

is watching over me -

we do not get

what we deserve

we just have to make the best

of what we are given

and what we

aren't.

(And I am not a failure.)

(It is in these moments that I choose to be happy).

(It is, after all, a constant choice).

Do not love me, I will love myself.
